Any idea why this might be? Should I complain to Amazon? Try downloading the book again?

P.S. I've just tried removing it from the Paperwhite and sending it again, but that didn't help. By the way, when I turn a page, the print is dark like it should be for a fraction of a second but then it fades again.
The publisher probably included a font in the book. If so, turn off the Use Publisher Font option (or whatever the option is called). If there is no option to turn off the publisher's included font, then the publisher might have created a Topaz style book which is like a PDF. Topaz books are a royal PITA, but they are usually only for books long out of print.

ETA: Actually, on a Paperwhite I think the option for using a Publisher Font is in the font menu. To Turn off the publisher font just select another font like Caecilia.
